oil in intercooler!!!!
after running for the first time my 3.3l turbo swap i had a leak from the turbo supply line and fixed it. I took it for a 15min ride everything was all good and parked it. I had run the car previosly and had no problem with it smoking. I ran the car the next morning after the drive and had lots of white smoke. i never had this problem before. the turbo tube going to the turbo had oil in it and i took of the intercooler and it had oil in it. Could this be from the leftover spill i had from the supply line i replaced or do i have a oil line to the motor mixed up and somehow blowing oil into my intercooler from the motor. When u drive the car there is no smoke at all. And i forgot to say after i came back from my 15 min drive and checked the oil level it was above the max line. I think i have 1/2 to 3/4 liter to much above the max line. Could this be a problem with too much oil in the motor?

Yea when you overfill it like that you will get a lot of blowby. Make sure from now on your dipstick reads 1/2 which is the right level for these cars. Your car is fine so dont worry about it, just remember next time.
